A Day Need Not Be Halloween to Be Haunted

Ask any random person on the street what their favorite holiday is, and you're overwhelmingly likely to get "Christmas!" (possibly followed by gift-anticipation drool) for an answer. Or perhaps "Thanksgiving," for those with fond food and family memories. Me, I'm not a Christmas person nor a Thanksgiving person, and neither is my sister Laura. Cheer and goodwill, what? Bah humbug. Give us a holiday that's frivolous!

At our house, this year's theme is Halloween Every Day, inspired by last year's utter fail of a Halloween Day. Taking the whole month to celebrate means it won't matter if something annoying comes up on the 31st (which seems to never happen on holidays we don't like. I have my suspicions!) We want to try injecting a little bit of Halloween into each day. Laura's set a goal for herself of 31 pumpkin designs, inspired by our own little backyard pumpkin patch (as pictured.) I'll be donning 31 costumes out of my ridiculous collection of junk, in addition to posting plenty of craft ideas, links and more.

So stay tuned for a month of pumpkin life from two cranky sisters with a mission--our excuse to blog about something fun!
